Montes Purple Angel 2018 is a robust Chilean Carmènere, with a small addition of Petit Verdot. This wine exhibits a striking deep red hue. On the nose, expect concentrated aromas of black fruit, including blackberry and ripe plum, alongside notes of dried fruit and subtle spice. The 18 months spent in French oak barrels impart a degree of complexity with hints of toasted nuts and fine chocolate. Montes, established by Aurelio Montes and his partners in 1987, is recognised for its commitment to showcasing Chile’s terroir, particularly from the Colchagua Valley.
